"THE MAN BORN TO BE KING"
Sir,-I should be glad if you would allow me to emphasise the fact that although "The Man Born to be King" was, as you correctly point out, commissioned and written for the Children’s Hour, it is not a play for children. The Children’s Hour is a convenient time for the *broadcast, because it allows parents to listen and still go to church, but all the plays in the cycle are for grown-ups. There is also one slight error in your account which it might be well to correct. The passage you quote on page 9 is not from the last play, but from the eleventh, and the*last play deals with the Resurrection.
